It took a long time for human beings to accept that our little piece of meteoric rubble wasn't the exact and absolute center of the Universe. It does appear that way, doesn't it? It may not take so long for a spaceman to learn ...

This information didn't surprise him, in fact, he really didn't even think about it. The previous orbits and the long simulated flights on Earth during training had made such checks routine and perfect results expected. The capsules were developed by exhaustive testing both on the ground and as empty satellites before entrusting them to carry animals and then the first human.
He returned to contemplation of the panorama passing below and above, although as he noted idly, above and below had lost some of their usual meaning. Since his capsule, like all heavenly bodies, was stable in position with respect to the entire universe and, thanks to Sir Isaac Newton and his laws, never changed, the Earth and the stars alternated over his head during each orbit. "Up" now meant whatever was in the direction of his head. He remembered that even during his initial orbit when the Earth first appeared overhead he accepted the fact as normal. He wondered if the other two had accepted it as

The only redeeming point is that it's so short that you won't waste more than 5 minutes of your time reading it.
An interesting idea. When you're alone in a space capsule and the Earth and Universe seem to rotate around you, what might it do to your mental processes?
This was written before manned space flight, so we know what didn't happen, but the character and thought processes of the astronaut make the story worth reading.

DULUTH, Minn. – The UW-Stevens Point men's hockey team came up short in its comeback bid and lost to St. Scholastica 4-3 Saturday night.
Box Score
The Pointers (11-7-1, 5-6-1 NCHA) got on the board first when Scott Henegar (Trenton, MI/Trenton) scored the first of his two power play goals on the night midway through the first period.
However, St. Scholastica (5-11-0, 2-8-0 NCHA) scored the next two goals to claim a 2-1 lead after the first period.
UWSP tied the game when Henegar scored again in the second period, but St. Scholastica once again scored consecutive goals to take a 4-2 lead after two periods.
Kyle Heck (Plover, WI/SPASH) scored his 10th goal of the season in the third period brought the Pointers to within 4-3.
Three of St. Scholastica's goals were scored on the power play.
The Pointers don't play again until Friday, Jan. 25 when they travel to UW-River Falls for a 7:05 p.m. game.

Gerald Scarfe's cartoon may not have been anti-Semitic, but running it on Holocaust Memorial Day only added fuel to the fire.
Tagged: Benjamin Netanyahu
Although almost certain to win reelection, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has been overshadowed by a charismatic new far-right leader.
The mainstream media was too willing to focus on spurious criticisms of Susan Rice from the right while ignoring legitimate criticisms from the left.
"Longer term, if we don't understand this in the context of occupation, we're never going to end this cycle," Bennis says.
The assassination of Hamas leader, Ahmad Jaabari, is primarily about Netanyanu shoring up the right-wing of his base before he faces reelection in January.

On Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's personal tachometer of war, the needle is always at the red line.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's demand that a "clear red line" be set on Iran is ironic in light of Israel's policy of strategic ambiguity toward its own nuclear weapons.

Villa Samprasada--Balinese DesignThailandSurat ThaniBo Phut
About this listing
Villa Samprasada (Sanskrit word meaning 'serenity') is the place to relax, unwind and recuperate in (website hidden) day, enjoy the pool, by night mood lighting transforms the villa into a romantic paradise. And only 5 minutes from Fishermans Village/Beach
Space where guests can cook their own meals
Towels, bed sheets, soap, and toilet paper
The Space
I have an amazing villa in Bophut Hills in Koh Samui, Thailand (five minutes from Fisherman's Village/Bophut), fifteen minutes from Chaweng). If you rent this villa, it's all yours--Yes, the villa looks as good as the pictures (actually better!) It has two completely separate master bedroom wings with two king size beds plus in one long hallway between the bedroom and bathroom we have a single bed. Plus we have one very comfortable sofa in the living room.
The villa is absolutely romantic and incredibly tasteful and well maintained.
And you are a mere five minutes from the beach/Fisherman's Village/Bophut. Fisherman's village in Bophut has amazing restaurants and you could stop there every night and go to a different restaurant. And on Friday Nights it's Walking Street Night.
Please email us with any questions, or whether you stay at our villa or somewhere else, please feel free to ask any questions about staying on the island as it's a great place.....
Note: Cancellation policy is different than what is posted.... 50% is due upon confirmation, which is refundable up to one month out for non peak IF we book someone at the same price on the same dates, and the final 50% is due one month prior to arrival and is non refundable (two months for holiday season). No refunds for bad weather, but no price increases for perfect weather! Price is $250 per night for off peak in October, November/early December, $650 for Holiday (December 15th to January 15th) and $350 for remainder of January, February, and August (mid season). Plus there is a charge of 8 Baht per unit for electricity (the villa looks so good lit at night that no one ever seems to want to turn off the lights!). This typically averages about $15 to $30 a day but you can flat it out at $20 a day. Seven to ten night minimum stays prevail, depending on the season--seven to ten day minimum for the XMAS Holidays.
Guest Access
You have access to everything in the home. It's all yours. And we always have rafts by the pools and pool noodles.
Interaction with Guests
Guests have the villa all to themselves. I have a wonderful Villa Manager who will arrange your airport pickup and check you in.
The Neighborhood
I love that it is private and has nice views and then you are still only five minutes drive to Fisherman's Village/Bophut and the Beach, and just twenty minutes to Chaweng. Within a six minute drive there is also a Tesco Lotus, a Big C, and a Makro Cash and Carry.
Getting Around
You need a vehicle on Koh Samui. We always recommend cars---easier to get around the island, and much safer than motorcycles. My villa manager has rental vehicles she can arrange for our renters---and that way when you get to the villa after you check in your car will be awaiting you (providing she has availability). About 90% of our guests rent from her.
Other Things to Note
The villa has two master bedrooms, both with king size beds, and outside of one of the bedrooms in a long hallways there is a single bed plus the sofa is very comfortable--hence that is how it sleeps six.

About the Host, Rob
I love life, I love travel (and travel constantly, living between Los Angeles and Koh Samui, Thailand). I have a great job producing television commercials all around the world (I used to produce music videos....lots of them). I have a great friendship circle.
I take my guests vacations very seriously. I want you to have a great time at the villa. To me, it's paradise when you're there and I hope you have the same experience.
Mind you, it's a tropical island. Things happen. The power will occasionally go out. Leave your food out and eventually, despite the pest control company, little ants will find their way to the kitchen from ten miles away if you leave the right things out. And at times you'll see Gekkos! I point this out because I had some guests in from Germany that were terrified of Gekkos, and while there are very few, you will occasionally see one.
Note: That's me in the picture wearing the yellow shirt on the set of the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, in Munich Germany. I just found this picture recently and everyone seems to love it, so...I'm posting it as my profile picture!

So I have a new 2012 BT that I'm building up. I have this 140 Rev sitting here and I look at the two of em and think, eh why not!
Has anyone built up a BT with a 140 fork? What were your thoughts if you did?
I'm likely just going to drop the travel down to 120 and run it that way but I'm interested to see what others think about a BT with a 140 Fork.
Thanks for the input!

Now is the time to urge Congress to protect our rights of conscience and religious liberty. Please urge your elected representatives to support the Health Care Conscience Rights Act, introduced in February by Rep. Diane Black (HR 940) and in August by Senator James Lankford (S. 1919). Ask them to include this bill's policy in must-pass legislation this year. Please take action today through the link below.
The need for legislation protecting the rights of conscience and religious liberty has grown more pressing. The Obama Administrations contraceptive/abortifacient mandate under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) began to be enforced against religious nonprofit schools, charities and health care providers on January 1, 2014. More recently the state of California started forcing all health insurers in the state to include elective abortions in the health plans they sell. These two problems are addressed by the Health Care Conscience Rights Act (S.1919/H.R. 940). It would add a long-overdue conscience clause to the ACA, and strengthen the Weldon amendment that forbids governmental bodies which receive federal Health and Human Services funds from discriminating against those who decline to take part in abortion or abortion coverage. With these modifications to current law, the promise of the Founders, that Americans would not be forced by their government to violate their deepest convictions of conscience, will at last be fulfilled in the modern health care system.
Recommended Actions:
Suggested Message: Please co-sponsor and support the Health Care Conscience Rights Act, (S. 1919/H.R. 940) and help ensure that its policy is enacted as part of must-pass legislation such as an appropriations bill. Government must not force Americans to violate their religious and moral beliefs about respect for life when they provide health services or provide or purchase health coverage."
The contraceptive/abortifacient mandate: Under the ACA, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services requires most health plans to cover preventive services for women, including drugs and procedures that many citizens find objectionable for moral and religious reasons. These objectionable items include sterilization, FDA-approved birth control (such as the IUD, Depo-Provera, morning-after pills, and the abortion-inducing drug Ella), and education and counseling to promote these to all women of reproductive capacity, including minor girls. Religious organizations offering education, health care and charitable services do not qualify for the rules very narrow exemption for a religious employer.
Abortion coverage mandate: On August 22, 2014, the California Department of Managed Health Care ordered all health plans under its jurisdiction, including those provided by churches and other religious institutions to their employees, to provide coverage for all abortions. Similar proposals have emerged in other states. In theory, current federal law forbids such discrimination, but the law has deficiencies that could allow California to evade the law or challenge it in courtand it does not allow the victims of discrimination to go to court to defend their own rights.
On September 8, 2015, Cardinal OMalley and Archbishop Lori of the U. S. Conference of Catholic Bishops wrote to the Senate urging support for S. 1919. On February 13, 2015 they urged House members to support and co-sponsor H.R. 940. For these letters and other information, see: www.usccb.org/conscience

J Street to Ros-Lehtinen: Give Back Moskowitz's Campaign Cash
January 19th, 2011
The new Chairwoman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairwoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen seems to see nothing wrong with taking large campaign contributions from Irving Moskowitz, a notorious funder of settlements in East Jerusalem's Palestinian neighborhoods. Moskowitz actively works to derail the chances for a two-state solution by funding Jewish settler housing in the middle of Palestinian neighborhoods - and has been condemned by both Republican and Democratic US Administrations for undermining the prospects of peace. With the two-state solution hanging by a thread, what a terrible signal it sends for an American political leader to be so cozy with a far-right political funder whose actions undermine the foreign policy of the United States and makes a two-state solution harder to achieve. Click here to call on Ileana Ros-Lehtinen to return Moskowitz's campaign contributions.

(Rich Lam/Getty Images)U.S. women's soccer player Megan Rapinoe, a midfielder who helped lead the national team to the finals of last summer's World Cup and will play in this summer's London Olympics, confirmed to Out Magazine that she is gay."I feel like sports in general are still homophobic, in the sense that not a lot of people are out," she told the magazine. "I feel everyone is really craving [for] people to come out. People want -- they need -- to see that there are people like me playing soccer for the good ol' U.S. of A."Rapinoe, 27, said she didn't try to hide her sexual preference. People just never asked her. "I think they were trying to be respectful," Rapinoe said, "and that it's my job to say, 'I'm gay.' Which I am. For the record: I am gay." Rapinoe said she has been dating an Australian soccer player for three years.Rapinoe said she thinks women's teams are more accepting of gay players than men's teams."In female sports, if you're gay, most likely your team knows it pretty quickly," Rapinoe said. "It's very open and widely supported. For males, it's not that way at all. It's sad." Promoted Stories Comments

Vegetarians: try the veggie on wheat! I get it without mayo and add extra avocado spread.

Try the penne rosa with feta and tofu. Spicy and delicious!

Surviving A Typhoon
In the Philippines, tropical cyclones come and go frequently. The country is battered by an average of 9 typhoons a year; some don't make international news, and those that do will have caused devastating destruction. Typhoon Hagupit (Ruby) hit the islands on December 6. And currently, it has affected 70 of our church partners and over 4,000 Compassion assisted children and their families. Damage is still being assessed and we will provide updates as news from our staff there becomes available. But a typhoon like this isn't new to them.Continue Reading ›

Fathers are expected to work and earn money for the family, not go to church or take care of the children. But Joseph is not the typical Filipino father.

Ad Hoc Committee for Voluntary Contributions to UNRWA, 1st Meeting (AM)
General Assembly President Urges Continuing Support in Absence of Solution to Palestinian Question, amid Broader Refugee Crisis
A total of 21 donors today announced contributions, or their intention to contribute, to the 2016 budget of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), as officials urged stable financing for the Agency against a backdrop of expanding crises in the Middle East.
No confirmed cases of Ebola virus disease (EVD) were reported in the week to 4 October. This is the first time that a complete epidemiological week has elapsed with zero confirmed cases since March 2014. All contacts have now completed follow-up in Sierra Leone. However, over 500 contacts remain under follow-up in Guinea, and several high-risk contacts associated with active and recently active chains of transmission in Guinea and Sierra Leone have been lost to follow-up. There remains a near-term risk of further cases.
Es necesario actuar para ofrecer ayuda y refugio y poner fin al derramamiento de sangre
Para la comunidad internacional, la llegada de decenas de miles de sirios a las fronteras europeas y las estremecedoras muertes de hombres, mujeres, niños y niñas durante el peligroso viaje para llegar hasta ellas se han convertido en un brutal recordatorio de la tragedia en la que está sumido el pueblo sirio. La desesperación en la que se ve sumida la población siria lleva a que muchas personas tengan que asumir riesgos inmensos para ellas y sus familias.
Il faut agir pour offrir assistance et refuge et mettre fin au bain de sang
L'arrivée ces dernières semaines de dizaines de milliers de Syriens aux frontières de l'Europe et la mort choquante de femmes, d'enfants et d'hommes lors de leur périple périlleux, secouent la communauté internationale et l'interpellent devant la tragédie qui engloutit le peuple syrien. Leur désespoir est tel que les Syriens en sont venus à prendre d'immenses risques pour eux-mêmes et leurs familles.
Action needed on aid, refuge, and to end the bloodshed
Author: Caroline Baudot, Oxfam Humanitarian Policy Adviser; Daniel Gorevan, Oxfam Campaigns and Policy Manager, Syria crisis
The arrival of tens of thousands of Syrians to Europe's borders and the shocking deaths of women, children and men on their perilous journey has been a sharp reminder to the international community of the tragedy engulfing the people of Syria. Syrians put themselves and their families at so much risk only out of sheer desperation.

Une centaine de migrants ont tenté de manière concertée de s'introduire au cours de la nuit de vendredi à samedi dans le tunnel sous la Manche reliant la France au Royaume-Uni, "en présence" à proximité, selon la police, de militants anarchistes.
by Baptiste Becquart
More than 100 migrants stormed the Channel Tunnel early Saturday, penetrating a third of the way through and attacking staff in an incident that halted overnight traffic.
The attempt to go through the tunnel from France to Britain came as the daily flow of thousands of migrants and refugees flocking to Europe's shores showed little sign of easing, with 168,000 migrants and refugees arriving in September alone, UN figures showed.
A new package of support from the UK will help hundreds of thousands of the poorest people in Malawi survive a looming food crisis, including children facing malnutrition.
As one of the leading humanitarian donors to Malawi, Britain is acting swiftly to respond to the country's international appeal for emergency aid by providing £10 million to support their response plan.
The UK government will provide lifesaving aid to tens of thousands of people facing a worsening humanitarian crisis in the Central African Republic.
A new £7 million package of aid will help UN agencies and charities step up humanitarian support to people in desperate need in CAR or neighbouring Cameroon where many have fled.
The new funding includes:
International Development Minister Desmond Swayne announces £20 million in life-saving new UK aid funding during visit to Iraq.
The UK will provide new life-saving support to tens of thousands of Iraqis forced to flee their homes by the brutal rise of ISIL, International Development Minister Desmond Swayne announced today.
Speaking at the Global Citizen Festival, a major festival in Central Park featuring world leaders, activists and celebrities, International Development Secretary Justine Greening said:
"For me the big step forward in the global goals is goal five, women and girls and gender equality.
"I don't believe that any country can develop if half its population is left behind.
"It's about voice, choice and control for girls and women. That starts with education.
International Development Secretary sets out £20 million package of emergency UK support and calls on other countries to also step up.
The lack of international action on the crisis in Yemen shows worrying parallels with the delayed response to the famine in Somalia that killed more than a quarter of a million people, Justine Greening warned today.
As tens of thousands of migrants leave Greece for Western Europe, International Organization for Migration (IOM) is meeting the challenge with teams on the ground in Transit Centers in Presevo, Serbia, and Gevgalja, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYRoM). This week, IOM learned it will receive £5.75 million from the Department for International Development (DFID) of the United Kingdom, to help the Geneva-based agency deal with the humanitarian emergency.
The funding will allow IOM to implement a range of much needed humanitarian programs which include:
Christian Aid today welcomed the EU decision to give €1bn to UN agencies in the Middle East supporting Syrian refugees, saying the relief effort is drastically underfunded, and needs a massive boost as winter approaches.
However, the agency expressed "deep disappointment" at the continued reluctance of the UK government to accept any of the half million or so refugees who have recently reached mainland Europe.
As the brutal conflict continues in Syria, millions of people continue to be in need. Hundreds of thousands have been killed in the conflict between the Assad regime, extremist groups and moderate opposition groups. In response to the crisis, the UK has allocated over £1.1 billion since 2012 to over 30 implementing partners (including United Nations agencies, international non-governmental organisations and the Red Cross). This is helping to meet the immediate needs of vulnerable people in Syria and of refugees in the region.
From: Department for International Development, The Rt Hon Justine Greening MP and The Rt Hon David Cameron MP
The UK will step up with nearly £115 million in additional emergency funding in response to the migration crisis, Prime Minister David Cameron announced today.
This includes a further £100 million in response to the Syria conflict and £14.5 million to tackle migration challenges more widely.

As we continue to roll through the hottest stretch of the summer so far, stay cool inside with these 5 movies.
If you're a fan of Disney baddies like cigar-smoking Bill Sykes from Oliver & Company (and really, who isn't a fan of Bill Sykes from Oliver & Company?), this news is relevant to your tobacco-stained interests: The Walt Disney Company has banned all depictions of smoking from all of its films from all of its child-oriented labels (including Pixar, Marvel, and Lucasfilm) rated G through PG-13. Via a press release:
If you keep your eyes peeled during Tangled you can catch a glimpse of some other Disney classics. In the background, there are nods to Pinocchio, The Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast and Frozen, plus other references from classic Disney fairy tales. This is just one of the facts packed into the latest episode of You Think You Know Movies, which lets it hair down with Tangled!
Acquiring Lucasfilm and Marvel were just two minor steps in Disney's grand plan to eventually own everything you love and control your life as Entertainment Overlord Supreme of the Planet Earth. But to be fair, they are a benevolent god. A caring god. A god that wants to make its riches available to you, should you want to indulge yourself. So prepare thyself: TV channels based entire on Marvel and Star Wars content may be coming.
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far removed from the notion of a third Star Wars trilogy every getting off the ground, rumors and development of a live-action Star Wars TV series buzzed about in every direction. We'd thought for certain that The Force Awakens, for all its sequels and spinoffs had firmly put that idea to bed, but a new rumor suggests Disney may draft a new Star Wars TV series to shoot in between films.
For months it's been rumored, now it's confirmed: Rian Johnson, the writer and director of Brick and Looper is officially the writer and director of Star Wars: Episode VIII. Disney CEO Robert Iger also revealed to company shareholders today that Episode VIII has its official release date: May 26, 2017 — 40 years and a single day after the release of the very first Star Wars back in 1977.
The news out of Disney's shareholder meeting keeps on coming. This one isn't much of a surprise: Disney is making Frozen 2. In a related story, the sky is blue and water is wet (until a princess with freezing powers comes along and turns it into ice).
With their new Cinderella just days away, Disney is continuing its streak of turning its animated classics into live-action features with the news, via the Wall Street Journal, that Dumbo is ready to make the transition from animated elephant to ... well, still-animated elephant surrounded by live-action actors. If that idea doesn't get your ears flapping, maybe this will: the Journal says Tim Burton will be the man who'll direct the new Dumbo.
The widely popular movie 'Frozen' has found incredible success among children around the world. Initially, parents loved the movie that kept their children entertained, but a little over a year after the release of the film, many are singing a different tune.
As Ken and Cathy have spent the past week and a half giving away family 4 packs of tickets to see Disney Live!, which is coming to Duluth on November 30th, I thought it would be a good time for my Country Throwback to honor Little Texas and the music of Disney.
Starting Wednesday morning, you can win a 4 pack of tickets to Disney Live Pirates & Princesses with the B105 Breakfast Club. This live show is coming to the Decc Symphony Hall on November 30th! Here's how you can win!
Even though we were told, once upon a time, that Disney and Pixar had no plans for 'Toy Story 4,' it seems that those plans have changed. After a series of short films that kept us up to date with the adventures of Woody and Buzz Lightyear and friends, Disney CEO Bob Iger has just announced that we'll finally be getting a 'Toy Story 4' after all, and it has an official release date and everything.
